Library to digitize many historical resources
"Keeping up in the fast-paced digital technology world, the Dartmouth College Library recently announced a partnership with Readex, a Vermont-based company that specializes in online publications of historical collections. In the agreement, Readex will digitize the College's U.S. Congressional Serial Set as part of Readex's Archive of Americana collection. The Congressional Serial Set, which provides numerous primary sources from many aspects of American History, dates from 1817 to 1980. Although actual volumes from the Set are not rare, Readex chose Dartmouth's collection because of its completeness and condition."

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content.

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012
